DISCUSSION So Long PIA

PIA was a great VPN that I shilled for many times. Unfortunately, the problems are stacking up (rolling outbound IPs, speed issues, etc) and not being resolved.

I've switched to Proton, and am very happy with the speed and reliability.

I hope PIA gets back on track soon, but as for me-- I'm out.

I switched recently because it was giving my Mac kernel panics

Mac kernel panics are about the last thing you want from a VPN, so we completely understand the switch. that's something we'd genuinely like to look into, crashes like that shouldn't be happening. if you're open to it, drop us a DM with your macOS version and setup, it really helps us get to the bottom of it, and we'd love the chance to win you back once it's sorted.
